People keep Titans in all sorts of ways. Some use minimum skill holding alts in them, then eject them in favour of their main when it comes to using them, some have them on alt accounts along with other utility characters because their Titan is mainly used for bridging. There is no hard and fast rule to how people should use and keep a space coffin, other than it will live in a POS.

So if a char unsubs, and then their titan pops back into existence deserted - I think this is what the OP wants.

Interesting mechanic. Imagine if that happened to every player, their stuff just gets jetcanned from stations when the sub ends. Like "He quit. Screw him. Here's his stuff you can all haz".

Not that I think it would happen.


But then ghost training was thought to be forever once.

You should be thankful that the titan/super is unsubbed and therefore unable to play. imagine if all 2481 supercarriers, 828 titans were still in-game (info AO Jan 3rd 13 so may be a bit dated). PL, Goons, NCdot, etc would become even more powerful than they already are. Draw your own conclusions as to the effects of that.

from what i understand certain alliances have the ability to produce many titans but just cuss you have a titan does not mean its a safe titan... and you only need so many active for fleets and can reactivate ones if needed fast.

So does this mean that as an insurance policy alliances like goons and PL keep the majority of their titans unsubsribed?

Like can you even kill an unsubscribed ship?

I guess when you here that a titan was killed that its already replaced is true...

i mean how hard is it for a rich alliance to buy titan chars with plex and then offline them the next ship that is made...

to me this is bull!

i would make is so if you unsub a titan then that titan does not become unscanable in deep space...

but also add the ability for a titan to plug into a outpost and make it a battleoutpost! One titan per outpost. The battle portion(titan) of the outpost can be integrated into an outpost or uninstalled (just takes a while to do so) and when you take a battle outpost it gets damaged and requires a certain amount of time and items to be repaired.

as it stands you cant stop capital proliferation... its silly to try... but why not use these titans to also enhance outposts and make those destructible outposts we are all looking for?





edit: when a battle outpost is taken it cant be used for anything other then docking and 30% of total assets are destructed....

destructed assets are random.

people want less supers.
complain when they find out most supers are unsubscribed and thus not being used anyway.

ilvl is significantly better than the whole "gearscore" thing that went on prior to ilvl.

although i'm going to pretend i don't know what either of those mean.

no i want to take rigs away from super caps

make sc dockable only in battle outposts... and make titans able to link up with an outpost to make them balltle outposts.



What do rigs have to do with anything?

So... what you're saying is dockable Supers. What a new and innovative idea that nobody's ever asked for before.

What the hell is a "battle" outpost, and what do you imagine it does?

From a business standpoint, when a player unsubs, it is in the best interest of CCP for them to someday resub. I would think the loss of their assets might not improve the odds of that happening.

I'm having a hard time understanding why someone active in the game would unsub their titan pilot, since the account has two more character slots that could surely be used for some productive purpose while the titan is inactive.

to me rigs on a super cap 9/10 will be tech II trimarks and sheild extander II

and this allows super caps to have ridiculous amounts of ehp and is IMO the main reason you cant dock them.

but if you remove the ability to fit rigs (i mean i understand rigging a ship 30 meters long or hell even 2 km max but 6-18km? thats just nonsense)

i feel that with sc not having rigs it will greatly reduce the ehp and thus would not have a problem for them docking in special upgraded player owned outposts.

but just because you can dock a sc does not mean you should dock a titan...

From what i understand the main role of a titan is to bridge ships and when the opurtunity comes you can actually fight in one... if the odds are in your favour...

Before you could blap in a titan and that was fun because it did not matter if you were stuck in the ship as you could still use it often.

but now you cant... so really once you are in a titan you have no purpose...

i am not sure about the details like if you plug a titan into a 0.0 outpost will it act like a control tower where you can deploy guns and it enhances the ehp of the outpost or what not... So in turns an outpost into a bettle outpost and then allows you to dock super carriers into the outpost...

what i am looking to do is renew the roles of supercaps and make a mechanic that allows you to leave the ship in some relative safty without having to keep the char not loged in to do so.
